Yes. Nothing needed to be purchased separately.

I don't believe so. (others please correct me if I'm wrong) When you hard wire the doorbell, it goes go to your existing chime box, but there is a little jumper cable that you use for the Ring to work, and I think it overrides original doorbell sound.

There is also a Ring "Chime" that you can purchase that makes the "Ring noise" when someone passes by your camera. It's handy if your phone is in another part of the room and you can't hear it, but mine is more glitchy than accurate, so I wouldn't recommend it. I'm heading over to the house where I have the hardwired doorbell later, so I'll update this when I get back.

But the $20 is a great deal. It only takes a few minutes to set up. It's 2 wires that go on 2 screws, and then the jumper at the chime box. Done.

You are wrong….just following your instructions.

Please update when you can.

Correct. When you connect the wired doorbell, your original chime will NOT work.

As explained by Ring, the new Ring doorbell bypasses the existing chime in order to power the video doorbell. You can buy the Ring chime, or you can pair it with your Alexa. (I haven't done that) So you'll only be notified on your phone unless you add something else.

Actually I'm not. After posting, I went over and tested my doorbell and the existing chime does NOT work. It literally says that in the 2nd bullet point on the Woot description:

"Get real-time notifications sent straight to your phone.
Note: the doorbell will not sound your existing chime."



Also, here's the article from Ring explaining it. Here's the summary, and also the link to the full discussion:

Hi @user19440. The Video Doorbell Wired does not have the ability to ring pre-existing chimes. If you would like something to ring inside other than your phones or tablets, you can add a Ring Chime. Also, if you have Alexa devices, you can link them with Ring to make an announcement when someone rings the Video Doorbell."
